One question however, I'm trying to play this song with my band, and Ive seen you are doing a special thing to bend the note while you are picking it somewhere over the 4min50.
Could you explain me what you are exactly doing ? (link a tutorial vid, or something like that ? )
I was doing it with a vibrato with my Ibanez, but now... I have to do it like Jimmy did it...
@bloggeurgratteux That's called a behind-the-nut bend. Push down on the string between the nut and the tuner and it'll raise the pitch of the note, then when you ease off, the note goes back to where it was. Jimmy used it occasionally, like on this one, during one of the trills in Heartbreaker, during the Dazed and Confused guitar solo...
@disda1n That's open E string, then 4th fret, then 5th fret, then 7th fret. During that, you're also hitting the open B string for each note. It ends on that Jimi Hendrix chord, which someone smarter than me knows the name of.
@privettricker I don't mean to be rude or pompous but the name of that chord is an E7#9. I didn't know the name of it either for a long time, only knowing that it was some inversion of an E chord. It wasn't until I took a few jazz lessons this summer that I figured out the names of so many chords haha :D
@privettricker I was under the assumption that he plucked the high E (and fretted along with the low E) as he played the opening 'riff' chord, hence giving it an 'octave harmony'. I mean, what you're playing 'sounds' good, but is it actually correct? Just curious...
@MAXVelo1 I think if you listen closely, you'll hear that the high E isn't played during that ascending riff. It's a constant B note along with the low E string walking up.
dude, thank you so much for this huge collection of covers. this is gonna help me SO much!
and i love how you're not afraid of making mistakes when you play. i'm always so scared to mess anything up that i never really play in front of anybody.
@Derricisgreat If you listen to Zeppelin bootlegs, you'll hear that Jimmy wasn't afraid of making mistakes, either. As he put it, he liked to dance on the edge of a precipice when he was playing. And sometimes he'd fall off the edge -- which is what makes his playing so great.
This is the perfect guitar lesson. Just do it. Awesome.

@Derricisgreat Segovia is the only one who never made mistakes. Everyone else is human. :)

@privettricker not only was he perfect, but that guy lived practically forever! he can't possibly be human!
or maybe he was just a bad person. or maybe Billy Joel was just full of crap.
